Why can't mirrors clear themselves?

day 07: scenes/characters that make you cry the most

Uh.  I really don't cry when it comes to reading things - the closest thing was reading Animorphs when I was 8, and the end of LOTR's Two Towers.  Anything close to Flowers To Algernon seriously upsets me though - the idea of having this awareness for a short period of time, only to completely lose it again later, freaks me out.  I guess my heart also goes out to single parent characters/scenarios a lot too, and I respond really strongly to the 'mama bear/papa wolf' sort of stories.  

:<  Five days in a row of work, coming up.   Boooooooooooooooooooooooo.
